I do a little gunsmithing on the side, not a whole lot but some. Bedding is really easy to do and would be hard to mess up with some good instructions. Floating is not too bad to do but I dont want to tell you to go ahead and try it yourself. I dont have alot of tools so I do my floating with a dremel tool and sandpaper. The process is simple but be patient and dont cut your stock in half or anything!
